Who's on the line

Tuesday, September 14, 2010

FInally , my turn to blog this up. I was failed for few times to export to the .xml file from livespaces, after many trials of methods... At last, I did it ... swt.. so I would share my experiences here .

Basically , you may refer herefor details. It looks complicated , I actually succeed by referringthis.Therefore, I will quote from them , combine and simplify from both of their methods.

Livespaces > xml > wordpress > blogger

Live Space Mover , through Python , will fetch live space's comments and posts ，save as wordpress .xml format , which is support for all ..

4. Place the file BeautifulSoup.py in the same directory of live-space-mover.py, or install it into Python
runtime by yourself. ( I put both of them in the directory of python folder ( mine is E:\Python25 )

1. Options > General
Make sure it is open to anyone (not only to your contacts)
選項 > 一般資訊

Set time zone to the same with your wordpress blog

Set date format to yyyy/mm/dd, or mm/dd/yyyy. This probably depends on the locale setting of your system or browser, the point is to make the “YEAR” appear in your date. If the program fails and complains about date parsing, try to use the option -t to specify date time format. For example, the time on my space is shown like “9:45 PM”, but if your time is shown like “9:45:15 PM”, you may want to use a command line like below
將日期格式設定為 年/月/日 ex:2009/4/26
時間格式設定為 上下午 時:分 ex:上午 07:43

Picture 4 : click 1 by 1 box. It can only publish 50 everytime. Js redo it .
At picture 5 ( since I did not uncheck the rest , by checked all , this window came out . It means you can only import 50 posts in 24 hours. Just click ok , and it will resume the next time you import again .

We've identified a bug in the latest google feeds and client libraries. (http://groups.google.com/group/bloggerDev/browse_thread/thread/6fa01659eb21b0d for deep details)

Basically as a work-around, you need to put the blogger.com feed SOURCE-API-URL. To find this you will need to view the html source of your blog and look for the string that will contain "service.post" it will contain a URL like:
"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/*blog_id_number_here*/posts/default"

That is the URL you'll need for the SOURCE-API-URL or DEST-API-URL , quoted from here .)

part of the posts ( limited to import 50 posts only ) . my 1st import.

What I've done is that , I redo the steps, since each time it will import 50 posts, I clicked 1 box only each time. In the end I clicked 4 times ( redo 4x ) . and they worked . All posts were imported to my blogger now =)

In fact, I don't know exactly how it works by importing through blog2blog because I got error ( I mentioned above ) too during the progress .

So I have tried an alternative but import the .xml exported from wordpress .

In fact, blog 2 blog will do this for us. Yet , when there is error , just find alternative ... since you got the .xml

Thanks toBroom ,his guide is great but a bit complicated for me... I hope mine here is less complicated
